[Strophe]
G             D         Em                 C 
I gave all my oxygen to people that could breath 
   G           D             Em             C 
I gave away my money and now we don't even speak 
  C               D                    Em      D       C 
I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me? 
   G  D  G 
Oh ho-o-onestly  
G              D                 Em           C 
Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry upon 
G                 D             Em               C 
Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm 
C                D                  Em     D      C 
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song 
         G     D    G 
Its goes o-o-on and on 
[Refrain]
C                 G             D               G 
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels 
  C               G                D       B7         Em 
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills 
    C                  D                Em      D      C 
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf 
           Am/E 
No farewell 
            Am/E                     Am/E G/B C   D/F# G 
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
[Strophe]
  G               D            Em             C 
I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain 
       G                D           Em         C 
'Cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain 
 C              D                      Em      D         C 
What line do we stand upon 'cause from here it looks the same? 
    G     D      G 
And only scars remain
[Refrain]
C                 G             D               G 
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels 
  C               G                D       B7         Em 
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills 
    C                  D                Em      D      C 
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf 
           Am/E 
No farewell 
            Am/E                     Am/E G/B C   D/F# G 
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
[Pont]
         Em                  C 
But if I don't, then I'll go back 
                G 
To where I'm rescuing a stranger 
        D                                  Em 
Just because they needed saving just like that 
              C 
Oh, I'm here again 
            G 
Between the devil and the danger 
       D 
But I guess it's just my nature 
            C 
My dad was wrong 
                        D 
'Cause I'm not like my mum 
                   Em               D            C 
'Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song 
       Am/E 
But it helps 
            Am/E                     Am/E G/B C   D/F# G 
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
